Tram Robbers Caught.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, Oct. 24.-Satur-
day night Deputy United States Marshal
Gerrir and City Marshal Honeycutt, OF
this city, arrested two men named George
Green aud Josiah Smith in a gambling
room in this city On the charge of having
participated in the late train robbery on
the Southern Pacific railroad near Tucson,
Arizona. They were kept In Jail for the
remainder Of the night, and were taken
then to Dallas for a hearing before the
United States commissioner. Green and
Smith have been here for a short time and
have been regarded as professional gam
blers.
AS soon as his arrest was effected Green
weakened, without any solicitation on the
part of the officers, and made a clean
breast of the whole affair. He stated
that he belonged to the Arizona gang,
and knew well all who were its members,
and that he was present and assisted in
the big robbery.
Green s mother lives in Ell Paso, and
she was here to see her son a short time
ago. She is the woman who recognized
the two train robbers who were killed by
Express Messenger Smith On the South
crn Pacific a few days ago. 1t is thought
by those who have Investigated the matter
that FL Paso has been the rendezvous of
the gang which perpetrated the late rob-
berries, and that Green knows enough to
bring the whole crowd into the hands of
the law, and that he will give the officers
all the assistance he can in order to save
himself.
Smith, unlike Green, was mum as an
oyster" and nothing was learned from
him by the officers. He and Green are
cousins. The officers looked up the facts
in the case very thoroughly before making
the arrests, and they feel sure that they
have caught the right men.

LONDON, Oct. 24.-Several thousands
of the unemployed, with the red flag at
their head, marched in a procession Sun
day afternoon from Trafalgar square to
Westminster abbey, and although no invi-
tatlon had been extended, 1000 of the
crowd were admitted. The flag was left
IN charge of vergers, inside the abbey.
Many OF the unexpected visitors remained
covered and INDUCED in whistling, while
others mounted the pedestals of various
statues or mingled with the decent people
present. Most of the latter left the
building.
The crowd, as a rule, chewed tobacco
and expectorated everywhere regardless of
the surroundings, until the first lesson
was announced, when the reader was
loudly ieered, completely drowning his
voice. The second lesson was similarly
received.
Canon Protharo then preached a SER
mon. taking for his text Romans, chapter
IL, verse !. In his discourse he argued
chat the punishment of law breakers was
necessary for the good OF the community.
This was received with cries of "0hl OH"
and "Boshr'
The preacher earnestly appealed for
order and exhorted his hearers to try and
uproot evil and plant good instead.
That's what we are going to do" was
shouted and received with cries of "Hear,
hear, and cheers.
Canon Protharo now threw his notes
aside and addressed himself directly to
the rougbs. He said: Legislation could
alone provide a remedy for hunger and
suffering, but everybody could express
sympathy" Loud laughter, followed by
a voice: That all we shall get"
Canon Protharo continued: "Chari-
table agencies might do much" "A
voice; we don't want charity, we want
work.
The reverend gentleman enlisted the
attention of the mob when he advocated
state assistance in times of distress. At
the close OF his remarks the mob hlssed
and marched out of the abbey, cordially
cheered by their comrades in waiting out
side. The whole crowd then proceeded,
shouting and hooting, to Trafalgar square
where the leaders denounced the church
and police. Several arrests we're made
of brawling persons and thieves.
In the Bow street police court to-day
one of the men arrested for creating a
disturbance in Westminster Abbey yester-
day was arraigned. He gave his name as
George Budget, aged %, by occupation
an ostrich feather cleaner. The charges
against him were: brawling in Westmin-
ter Abbey and assaulting the police.
Canon ProtharO, whose sermon was inter
rupted by the mob which invaded the edi,
flee, testified that the prisoner, who had
previously been noisy, shouted when the
sermOn was commenced: Surrender half
your salary you - old -, and then
benefit the poor" When the police re.
moved him he kicked and struggled and
made an uproar. Budget was fined Is.

WASHINGTON, December g. Especial, The
presidents message created genuine sensa-
ton today. In the house and senate its read
ing was listened to with the greatest interest,
not over thirty minutes being consumed by the
clerk Mr.. Randall gave to the reading the
closest attention, and then betook himself
10 the printed copy.
Mr.. Mills, of Texas, being asked about the
message, said, splendid; it could not possibly
be better"
Mr.. Randall refused to express an opinion at
present, declaring that he intended to give 1t
more careful reading
Mr.. Springer believed that the principles
enunciated in the document would become
planks in the next democratic platform.
Mr.. Crisp thought the message one that was
likely TO give general satisfaction to the eoun-
try at large.
message that had ever been read to congress
that every sentence went to the heart Of the
wood.
Mr.. Buchanan, of the republicans, smiled
with satisfaction and said, "Well, it puts the
democrats on record, and we have got them
now where we have wanted them for a long
time"
DR.. Carlton agreed with the principles of tho
message in everything save as TO the internal
revenue tax, lie wanted IL understood that he
was against that, first, last and all the time.
Mr.. Mckinley, Of the republicans, thought
it was taken from the records OF the Golden
club and was ironically ELUSIVE in his pro-
testations of pleasure.
The nomination today Of IT, Q. G. Lamar
for supreme court Judge Postmaster General
Villas for secretary Of the interior, and Dick
ins0n for postmaster general were no surprise
70 the people or the country. IT was antici-
pated. Tho nominations were not confirmed
by the senate, but win probably be confirmed
within ten days. They were sent to the com
mittee under the rules.
There is some talk tonight about taking
Lamar from the cabinet, and putting him on
the bench, leaving no southern representative
in the cabinet, but this talk Is counterbalanced
by the positive assertion that Mr.. Lamar
would not haye been disturbed at all, bad it
not been ri his request. Its generally known
that the president regards him as one OF the
foremost men and state smen in the country.
There is some doubt expressed as to the con
firmation OF Mr.. Lamar, owing to his age, but
it is confidently asserted that being an OK
senator, and having very many friends in that
body. he will certainly go through.
WASHINGTON, December The senate and
house recessed soon after meeting, to await the
presidents message.
At l 10 o'clock the senate reassembled and
the message was read

GROWERS MESSAGE
To the Ffftieth Congress of the
United states.
RECEIVED WITH FAVORABLE COMMENT

WASHINGTON, December 5.-The senate
chamber wore fresh and tasteful appearance
this morning. The floors and galleries were
newly carpeted and desks glistened in their
coat of varnish, the odor OF which mingled
family with that of bouquets and gorgeous
floral devices which enliyened the picture.
The senator most favored in the matter of
flowers was Mr.. Daniel, Of Virginia. The de-
vices were all of mammoth proportions and
covered not only his desk and chair but over
Tapped upon the desks of his neighbors. A
hugo horseshoe, q ladder of q half dozen
rounds and a shield comprising the coat-of-
arms Of Virginia was chief among the pieces.
The senators began to arrive and take their
seats before II o'clock, Senators Stewart and
Hiscock being the first corners.
The galleries were early crowded and to
overlooking. Mrs. Cleveland, clad in cos
tune of dark green, and accompanied by Mrs.
Glider, Mrs. kingsford and several other lady
friends, occupied seats reserved for the family
OF the president in one OF tie private galleries.
The diplomatic gallery was iilled by members
Of tho various legations, the front seat being
occupied by the Chinese minister, his secrcta-
ries aud associates The minister wore mag
nifceut robe of light blue satin and his com
panions were clad as richly, slough in more
Bubducd colors.
The following papers were, thcreupon, sub
mitted and read: Certificate OF the governor
of Florida. making the temporary appoint-
mont Of j. J. Finlay, rs senator from tho 9th
fill the vacancy caused by the expiration Of
the term Of Senator Jones. Certificate Of the
governor of Florida Of the election, by the
legislature of Samuel Pasco, certificates OF the
governor of New Jersey of the election of R'l-
fus Blodgett, Of tho governor OF West Vir-
ginia, Of the appointment, by him, OF Daniel
b Lucas, to fillthe yancacy caused by the expi-
ration of the term Of Senator Camden, and
of the governor OF West Virginia of a sum
mary of the proceedings by
which the legislature, in special session.
elected Charles j. Faulkner MS senator
10 fill the vacancy; the credentials of William
E. Chandler; protest of Daniel i. Lucas
against the administration of the oath Of Office
to Charles J. Faulkner. Tho grounds Of pro-
test are First, that the executive Of the state
of West Virginia has not certified the election
OF Charles J. Faulkner under seal of the state,
as REQUIRED by the act OF congress. Second for
the reasons set out in tho brief of Daniel Il.
Lucas a copy of which accompanied the pro-
test. Third, because Charles j. Faulkner was
at the time and state OF his alleged election, on
the 5th of May, 1887, judge of the 18Th judicial
district of West Virginia. and, therefore, neli-
gible TO the Office of senator.

that with which Russia pursues the nihilists.

The Contract Let.

1t is announced, at last, that the
lOng-talked of project of erecting a
monument commemorative of the bat
tie of Bennington, has come so near
to a focus that the job of building the
monument has been let. For twenty
years, at least, parties have been
working in the interests of the mOnu-
ment, and congress, legislature and
the people have been belabOred until
something over $780, have been
secured for the work The cost will
equal, possibly exceed this sum, tho
it is stated that the monument itself
will be built for SO, 900. 1t is to be
pyramidal, similar to Bunker Hill
monument, 80 feet square at the base
and 800 feet high. A site has been
selected at Old Bennington, some
miles distant from the old battle field,
but near the famous Catamount Tav-
ern, a famous resort in old Revolu-
tionarv times. The selection of this
site in the town of Bennington brings
the work into Vermont, though the
battlefield was chiefly in New York,
and places the structure where it is
easy of access from the railroad, and
in a village where it can be easily
visited and kept in order and repair.
1t strikes us that the monument
is larger, las the fashion of monuments
is, than is demanded. The world has
few battle spires that rear their heads
three hundred feet in the air, and the
event that makes some sort of me-
mortal erection proper, does not de-
mand so huge a pile of stone. The
battle was really a small affair, as
battles, and was hardly a skirmish
compared with hundreds of battles in
the rebellion. If it were undertaken
to build monuments to compare with
the magnitude of single conflicts, or
results even, the amount of stone that
might be piled up at Gettysburgh,
Chattanooga, Nicksburgh, New Or
leans, Shiloh and in many other
places would be enormous But
if the parties interested desire to get
the highest battle monument in the
country built at Bennington it will do
no harm in this age, and the histOri-
an of the future will not be misled
by the height of the obelisk standing
near the battle field where the brave
men of the revolution displayed both
skill and valor, and where the tide
of English invasion met the rocky
barriers which it could not sweep
away, and the decisive point was
gained which resulted in the defeat
and capture of the largest English
army then in the field. We like to
see things built with reference to the
symmetry of proportion and proprie-
tV nevertheless
